3) Cabbage
Cabbage benefits the digestive system and the liver, two organs that directly influence the toxin load received by the kidneys. Its insoluble fiber helps cleanse the intestines, reduces constipation, and decreases the flow of toxins into the bloodstream.
It also contains sulforaphane, glucosinolates, and vitamins C, K, and folic acid, which help stabilize pH, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation.
Consumption suggestion:
Steamed, boiled, or raw with lemon.
Avoid adding butter, excessive salt, or commercial sauces.
4) Cucumber
Cucumber is considered one of the lightest vegetables for those with low kidney filtration because it is composed of more than 95% water, is low in sodium and potassium, and helps hydrate without overloading the body.
It promotes the elimination of uric acid and reduces swelling in the feet, hands, and ankles. It also contains anti-inflammatory compounds and gentle fiber that supports digestion and contributes to better internal balance.
Recommendation:
Consume fresh, without salt or high-sodium dressings.
